You have provided yourselves against competition and left him to compete with the world. He must shed his sweat and blood in competition with the million and a quarter alien paupers who annually land upon our shores. Now. if you have one scintilla of honesty in your hearts. and want to do something that will prove a benediction to the laborIng man and a blessing to the country. and that will also raise revenue for your depleted Treasury. vote with me to place a head tax of $100 on every foreigner coming into this country. Do this. and the Lord may forgive you for the falsehoods you have told the laborer. Do this. and the people from one end of the Nation to the other will call you blessed.
